This week in the agenda

Château de Berrie stands in Berrie (Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 14th century, second half of the 19th century). Adult admission costs 10 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Château de Berrie, in the Vienne department, sits on an oval platform riddled with cellars and troglodyte passages dating back to Carolingian times. Surviving features include Romanesque rooms with broken-barrel vaults and a 13th-century chapel decorated with 15th-century wall paintings, reflecting building work carried out between the 12th and 16th centuries. This is a site defined more by its underground structures than by stately grandeur, linked over time to the Amboise, La Trémoille and Dreux-Brézé families.
